Capuano confirms Calgary roster, starting goaltender

Islanders Head Coach Jack Capuano confirmed the the first group on the ice at Iceworks would be the 20-man roster traveling to Calgary for tomorrow's exhibition following the club's second on-ice session. Shortly thereafter, the team boarded the bus to the airport.

Capuano said, "He’s (Nabokov) played so much hockey and he understands we want to give the young kids a look as well. We know what he’s going to bring to the table he’s going to play, I don’t know if he’s going to play the whole game out there right now, but he’s going to play a majority of the game and as we move on he’s going to play more and more."
